Dear readers, we have a question for you: Why don’t you live in Canada or Australia? Because apparently those are the world’s bestest places to live, according to an annual study from the Economist Intelligence Unit, which rates cities from around the world based on factors like political stability, health care, culture, education, and infrastructure. The big news this year is that Melbourne has broken Vancouver’s almost decade-long reign atop the list, the AAP reports.

But don’t go crying for Vancouver—it fell only to third. The real story, Time observes, is the dominance of Australia and Canada respectively, which account for a whopping seven of the top 10. Those 10 are as follows:

Melbourne, Australia

Vienna, Austria

Vancouver, Canada

Toronto, Canada

Calgary, Canada

Sydney, Australia

Helsinki, Finland

Perth, Australia

Adelaide, Australia

Auckland, New Zealand

As for the dregs of the list, Harare, Zimbabwe, has the dubious distinction of being dead last of the 140 cities ranked, just below Dhaka, Bangladesh. Other notable bottom-feeders include Tripoli (135), Karachi, (134) and Tehran (132). Honolulu (26) is the top US city on the list.
